  2. pediatric hospice

    GundeRN replied to rocktrim's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    God doesn't want this. He created a perfect world and we polluted it when we brought in sin. Some day He will make things right and no one will question why, because we will have the memory of how...

  3. Is working in nursing home harder then working in hospital for new RN?

    GundeRN replied to RomanRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    In my experience, absolutely yes! I started in LTC and got very minimal training as well. I had 30 residents to care for if I was lucky. Most of the time we were short staffed and I had 60. I never...

    GundeRN replied to duluth's topic in General Nursing

    My experience in a nursing home was short and not a very good one, but that doesn't mean they all are. Wow $15,000. I get why you can't do

  7. OMG Say it correctly!

    GundeRN replied to seanynjboy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I can't beleive no one said exacerbation / exasperation. Not sure I spelled it right, but I can say it. Also I am in the mersa camp. Everyone would look at me strangely around here if I spelled it...

  8. How does working night shift impact your FAMILY?

    GundeRN replied to meanmaryjean's topic in General Nursing

    It works great for me! More money and I never have to ask for time off if my kids have a program at school, I just loose a little sleep. Of course I'm still fairly young. I've only been a nurse for a...

  9. Are you married sweetie?"

    GundeRN replied to Nurse-84's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Why would telling the truth mean I am not thinking about the patient? I prefer not to take the, "your weak and can't handle the truth" stance with my patients. I think it is insulting to treat adults...

    Hello fellow Minnesotan! Love the Duluth area. We always vacation on the north shore. I was a phlebotomist turned nurse and I do believe it was a combination of that and my high honors what got me my...

  14. What's the biggest mistake you've ever made as a nurse? What did you learn from it?

    GundeRN replied to Mini-Murse's topic in General Nursing

    I am a new nurse. I've only been at my hospital for 8 months. This is great reading these. Your experiences just may protect me from repeating them. Thanks for sharing! Mine are both fall situations....

  15. Unappreciative classmates

    GundeRN replied to Zelda21's topic in General Students

    I agree with Mewsin, the review classes are ok if they make them optional, but everyone has different learning styles. I for one do not study well with a group. I learn better on my own. When I was...
